How to Extend a Trusted Profile (Profil Zaufany) in Poland?
A Trusted Profile (Profil Zaufany) is a tool that allows you to handle many official matters online without visiting an office. It is especially useful for migrants living in Poland, as it enables them to apply for a residence permit, register with ZUS, and use platforms like ePUAP, mObywatel, and diia.pl. A Trusted Profile is valid for 3 years, after which it must be extended. How can you do it?
1. Check the Expiry Date
To avoid any issues, check the validity of your Trusted Profile. You can do this by logging in to https://pz.gov.pl and going to the “My Account” section.
2. Online Extension
If your Trusted Profile was created via online banking, you can extend it without leaving your home. Simply log in to your bank and find the section related to the Trusted Profile. The process is quick and intuitive.
3. Extension via ePUAP
If your Trusted Profile is not linked to online banking, you can extend it through the ePUAP platform:
- Go to https://pz.gov.pl and log in to your account.
- Navigate to the “My Trusted Profile” section.
- Click “Extend Trusted Profile”.
- Sign the application electronically (if you have a qualified electronic signature) or submit a request for extension confirmation at a verification point.
4. Visit a Verification Point
If online extension is not an option, you can do it in person at a verification point, such as a municipal or city office. Bring a valid identity document (e.g., passport) and ask for a Trusted Profile extension.
5. What If Your Trusted Profile Has Expired?
If your Trusted Profile has expired, you cannot extend it – you must create a new one. This can be done online (via online banking) or in person at a verification point.
